Me: I'd like to remap my ECU - how will that affect me?

DL: What?

Me: I'd like to remap my ECU - how will that affect me?

DL: I dont have an option for that, what parts will you be adding?

Me: None

DL: So are you modifying it?

Me: Yes - I'd like to remap my ECU

DL: What's the correct name for that?

Me: err... a "RE-MAP"

DL: OK how much power will it increase the engine by?

Ah, yes...the good ol' Directline quote "...because you're less than 25", which is tacked on to every clause, from the 2-for-1 bonus NCD to the cover for 3rd parties.

2015 VRS TDI - Coolant loss from expansion tank

Sharpy64 · 22 June22 Jun

Hi All, I know this is a topic that seems to have been covered a million times but my vRS has become a problem child. It was losing a small amount of coolant and I would get the odd whisp of steam from the back, I diagnosed a leaking EGR Cooler (confirmed with off car pressure test) and a small water pump leak. I replaced both and thought my work here was done. However it now seems to have made losses worse, this time from the reservoir, so yesterday I did a 90 min motorway drive and by the t

Factory fitted electric towbar is not releasing after a long time not using

Factory fitted electric towbar is not releasing after a long time not using

candasm · Friday at 10:453 days

Hi Everyone, I have a Factory fitted electric Tow bar. Last time I use, it was 5 years ago I believe. I tried to use it Today no chance not releasing. It has a green light always but whenever I pull it out light changes to red blinking and tow bar is not releasing. I used some wd-40 and rust cleaner but still result didn't' change. I also tried to pull out the tow bar with bare hand or hit the mechanism with a wood or hammer(kindly), still no chance. Anyone faced the same issue?

Airbag error, what can reset it?

Airbag error, what can reset it?

rik1254 · 22 October, 20241 yr

During my hardwire dash cam install, I removed the trim which holds the passenger airbag switch and unplugged it. Now (unsurprisingly) I have an airbag error on the dash. I’ve cycled the ignition a few times in hopes that would reset it, I also tried enabling and disabling the airbag with the key, still no joy. Is this something I can reset at home? I’m hoping something like ODBeleven free plan can do it, but it’s difficult finding out what the free plan can actually do.
